ceiyed broken limbs in the toss, and one was
made cripple for life by having his spine
injured.
One of the nervest things in Sloane's
whole career happened at Navasota, on the
Brazos River. We we're sitting on the YER
anda of the hotel, when fighter entered the
village on horseback, and armed with Win
chester and two revolyers. He took a drink
or two, and then started in to capture the
town. There was only one street, and he rode
up and down this at fall gallop, firing. right
and lett and utteriDg terrific yells In five
minutes he had the town. People disappear
ed from sight with amazing celebrity, and
everybody was thoroughly cowed. The fell
low fired two shots among the sitters on the
veranda, and we stampeded. Town up had
no desire for closer acquaintance with the
rufhan, and | was among the first to seek
cover. When we were all inside | peeped
cautiously from window and saw Sloane
still outside. He was on his feet, leaning
against a column of the veranda and smok.

ed for HIM to come in, but he shook his head.
Appeals were made by others, but he turned q
deaf ear.
The cowboy had by this time reached the
lower end of the street and turned to come
back. He came at full gallop, but checked
his horse in front of the hotel and fired three
shots at Sloane from distance of fifty feet.
The first tipped past his ear, the other two
cut cloth without drawing blood. We were
looking full at the shooting from the win
dows and as he fired his third shot without
bringing his man look of wonder came to
his face, and he bent forward for closer look
and shouted:
"Who are you, man or devil ?"
George sauntered along to the steps, slow
ly descended, and approached the man, and as
he came near enough lie grabbed for him,
Next instant the cowboy was pulled off his
horse and being literally mopped all over the
road. He tried to use weapon, but was dis
armed with scarcely an effort, and when
George got through with him he lay as one
dead. Rifle revolyers, and knife were broken
and flung in heap beside him, and George
sat down on the steps to finish his smoke

fracas. personally interviewed the doctor
who was called to see the cowboy, and he
gave me n list ofthe injuries, as follows

broken, three scalp wounds, right shoulder

five bad bruises ON various parts, one eye
closed

yet the little giant laid the fellow up for three

Cologne.

Cologne is chiefly interesting TO Wis
itors on account of its Cathedral and
its Cologne water. To see the one and
buy some of the other are the two objects oil
travellers here. But, apart from these prin.
cipal attractions, we shall find the city very
interesting. Most of the streets are queer
and old, some of the houses dating from the
thirteenth century; and the Rhine, which ia
here crossed by long bridge of boats, pre-
SCENTS n very busy and lively scene with its
craft of many kinds.
The real Cologne water is made by Johann
Maria Farina, but when we 60 out to buy
some, we may be a little perplexed by find
ing that there are some thirty or forty
people of this name, all of whom keeps shops
for the sale of Cologne water. There are q
great many descendants of the original in
ven,or of this perfume, and the law does not
permit any one to assume the name who
does not belong to the family but the boy
babies Of the Farinas are generally baptized
Johann Maria, so that they can 60 into the
cologne water business when they grow up.
There are two or three shops where the best
and Original" water is sold and at one of
these we buy some of the celebrated perfume,
generally sold to travellers in small wooden
boxes containing four or six bottles, which
we get alta very reasonable price compared
with what we have to pay for it in America
We cannot take much more than this, be-
cause cologne water is classed as spirits by
the custom house authorities in England,
and each traveller is allowed to bring only a
small quantity of 1t into that conntry.-&.

Our Business Chat
The PEOPLE i;

We like to talk about business
with the people, for we want
them all to know that Mabley &
Carew's MAMMOTH STORE
is the very centre of TRADE
and COMMERCIAL LIFE. II
you're thinking about buying
new clothes (Pantaloons, Suit
or Overcoat,) or Furnishing
Goods, Shirts, Underwear OF
Toilette "Fixings" of any des-
cription, you'll find the Grandest,
Largest and most Elegant stock
your eyes ever gazed upon now
arranged for your selection at
Mabley d Calew's. Buyers
should remember that our man.
moth store is not only the lead
ing Clothing and Furnishing
Goods House in the South, but
that the thirty-two consolidated
stores of Mabley 81 Carew re-
present the largest clothing SYN
dictate in America. Our pur-
chases and manufacturing inter-
ests are so enormous that we in
vest tens and hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in our business
where other concerns draw the
limit at few thousands.
Folks who are compelled to
ego shopping" experience many
vexations and meet with numer-
GUS disappointments in their tedi-
GUS walks from store to store,
from shop to shop, searching for
what they wish to purchase
There's as much difference in the
individual tastes of people as
there is in the variety and quality
of goods. If a dealer does not
sell goods to please everybody
then these establishments must
take chances for trade on such
patronage as they may accident
ally receive. There's no "acci-
dental" patronage at Mabley q
Carew's. A buyer who comes
to our store can ALWAYS pur-
chase just the goods he wants,
for our enormous display affords
him an abundance of styles and
patterns to select from.
When you come to the city
you're welcome to make our
store your headquarters. If you
are encountered with baggage or
packages have them checked free
at our first floor bundle counter
subject to your order on demand.
Courteous statesmen will give you
any information desired, whether
you purchase or not. Our store

that is always the lowest quoted

The MOslem Tradition of Our First
Parents.

According to Moslem tradition Eve was
q very tall woman, so tall, indeed, that her
tomb was 200 feet long. Adam, then, to Judge
from the present proportions Of the sexes,
must have been considerably taller say 225
or $50 feet
But Adam is said 10 have gone to the Island
of Ceylon after his wife's death, and an Eng
lishman once undertook to puzzle Nloham-
medan disputant by asking him how he could
have made the voyage. How could so tall
man have found boat big enough to carry
himp
The devout Moslem was equal o the emer-
gency.
"There waa no difficulty at ALL" said he.
adam went over to Ceylon in several
boats. - Youths Companion.

An Important Enterprise.
From the Ken West Democrat.


Now that an enterprise is on foot to start
a mammoth nursery of olives near the pro
posed settlement of Naples, in Monroe
county, it would be well for our South
Florida people to give the subject of olive
culture in oursection of this county serious
consideration, and inquire whether there is
any other possible investment that will pay
more readily and with more certainty than
an olive plantation. We all know from the
earliest date of which we have any record,
the culture Of the olive has been recognized
as profitable industry in those Eastern
countries where the climate was adapted to
its growth, and its cultivators have always
been regarded as benefactors of the human
race The wonder is that crop SO easy of
cultivation, with so few enemies and with
such satisfactory results, should have been
so long neglected in a country SO well
adapted TO its cultivation. The olive is
generally propagated from the cutting, any
small section of the tree with good thick
bark growing readily. There is an old
italian proverb which says: "An olive
plantation is gold mine on the face of the
earthD

HOW FLORIDA MAKES SENATORS.

The Funny Chicago Tribune Man Teus
the Story.
The esteemed Chicago 1rtbane's funny
man tells the following little story about
the recent Senatorial contest in the Florida
Legislature. He says;
''Bubby Perry and Sonny Bloxham were
two good little boys that were deeply
enamored of the same little girl, whose
name was Florry Day. Long they stroye In
generous rivalry for the honor Of carrying
her lunch basket to school and fighting the
flies away from her when she sat down to
rest after jumping the rope at recess. III
puzzled Florry's little head to decide between
them. She could have been happy with
either if the other had been away. She
gave both locks of her hair--dead loads OF
locks, in fact, and loads of dead locks-but
it did not ease the difficulty of the situation.
They still strove for her preference, and she
was still unable to say which one she pre-
ferred. Finally, for the sake of preserving
peace in Miss Florry's family, Bubby Perry
and Sonny Bloxham held a conference and
resolved that, as she was so very particular,
they would both go off and play marbles by
themselves and let her see how it felt to have
no little sweetheart; and while they were
doing this q boy named Chappie Pasco
walked off with little Florry Day. And
this, my children, is the way they make
